Swiss Bound

Today I received my placement information letter in the mail, so now I'm able to pass the information on to you.

First, some Swiss pictures.

During our break, we went up to this sweet tobaggen run. In the background are the Alps:



Somewhere in there is where I'll be going on a 'Ski Weekend' in January with other trainees:

My sponsors are Dirk and Maya Fellmann. They have three children, Tim (12), Jara (10), Salome (3).

Here is the letter's description of my work: "The Trainee will be working on the farm, maybe is asked to help with some construction work, some cleaning in and around the house (picking weeds), look after the children when Maya is working and if interested do some cooking, teaching English and playing with the kids."

I will be a ten minute walk from the bus stop. It also says that the area is beautiful for hiking and biking.

Until next time,
Jon
